Hi.

To *NAScompares* First of all, thank you so much for all your valuable videos in regards to the different NAS systems out there, and putting them in a way a newbie like myself can understand it. Due to your videos, I now felt confident enough to finally pull the trigger on buying a NAS system for home 4k media, and to share remotely, as a secondary function, if viable.

*To the forum/NAScompares* I bought a ts-453e qnap. After searching for a week of trying to find out how big of a SSD nvme 2280 pcie gen 3 3x2 to buy, I cannot find ANY information on the size this can handle. I don't want to waste my money at all, but still get the top it can use.

I am wondering if you have any knowledge on this?

It's weird, because I check the compatibility pages on the qnap website, and it keeps recommending devices i didn't even include in the search, so I simply can't trust it.
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you found our videos helpful! Congrats on your new QNAP TS-453e NAS. As for the NVMe SSD question, you're on the right track, and you're right to seek the best balance of capacity and performance. Good news – the QNAP TS-453e can handle NVMe SSDs at the 2280 size with a PCIe Gen3 x2 interface. This means you have a variety of options available.

Based on the use case you've described (home Plex media server and remote server), I recommend considering SSDs with good endurance and performance. Here's a list of NVMe SSDs with their endurance ratings (DWPD) to help you pick the right one for your needs:

970 Pro - 0.66DWPD

Synology SNV3400 - 0.68DWPD

Seagate FireCuda 510 - 0.7 DWPD

Seagate IronWolf 525 - 0.7 DWPD

Seagate Firecuda 530 - 0.7 DWPD

Seagate PS5 Game drive - 0.7 DWPD

Seagate FireCuda 520 - 0.9 DWPD

WD Red SN700 - 1.0DWPD
